The young Auckland-born back is another versatile player that hit Titch’s radar early on in his rugby career. Has already enjoyed two seasons in the black jersey, establishing himself as another valuable attacking option for the team. The rangy winger draws his inspiration from All Blacks back legend Tana Umaga and has also been in demand in provincial rugby having spent time with Northland, Auckland and now Tasman.
